    5353(1) Noticed that windowing/leveling with VR controller isn't updating in histogram in VR, only on the monitor. TomG: yes it doesn't know when to update the panel in VR; doing it continually may be too computationally expensive and cause flicker. Phil: may be less important with pass-thru, can view monitor.  TomG: it wouldn't be hard to change the code for more panel updates and see how it affects performance. Eric: maybe there could be a button assignment to toggle panel updates.

    55 (2) thresholds were not saved in sessions. TomG: that would be very surprising. They should be saved. What version are you using? Elaine: maybe Zach has code that recognizes DICOM and automatically resets thresholds. Phil: I can explicitly set them with the "volume" command. I can find out the values with "volume settings" TomG: manual adjustment should log the corresponding command. You can also use "buttonpanel" to make a custom GUI with buttons that run commands.

    5757Phil: the RIDER lung data with the tumor shows up nicely in VR.  With the right thresholds, it seems to even have an outline.  Elaine: maybe there is a slightly denser capsule around the tumor.

    6161Phil, re NIH3D: how to visualize struts, discussed previously with Eric.  Halfbond coloring looks better than a separate color, let's use halfbond in the presets.

     63Discussion of per-vertex coloring.  TomG: can you suggest a VRML viewer in which to test this? 
     64
     65- Phil: InstantPlayer on Mac https://www.instantreality.org/downloads/
     66- Kristen: this one does recognize vertex coloring: https://3dviewer.net/
     67- Darrell: web3d consortium validation tool https://www.web3d.org/news-story/x3d-validator-available-x3d-scenes
     68
     69TomG: can you send me a per-vertex-colored VRML that works with 3D printing? Phil, others: yes

     71Darrell: is there possibility of your traveling, using the contract (ending Feb 2024)?  Also, where do you go to show ChimeraX, and do you have advice?
     72
     73TomG: maybe Zach and/or I could come to see you and your facilities. We are open to that.  On the second question, we haven't done so many booth exhibits, more like presentations or lectures at meetings. The main advice is to keep it simple because time is limited, and show data relevant to their research when possible.  Lack of internet access is often a problem.

    89101Kristen: not much with NIH3D, are waiting until after we do more testing with the latest presets.

    91 Scooter: think about whether we should schedule a visit since it's a possibility in our current contract, which goes through Feb 2024.  Also could start thinking about next SOW... it's not too early.  VR, DICOM, machine learning...   Phil: maybe can discuss at our next meeting, or at least the next one with Darrell.  Scooter: I won't be at the next meeting (I'll be in Germany), so maybe in a month.  Elaine: that's Thanksgiving.  Meghan: let's figure out a day where both Darrell and Scooter can be there.  Scooter: Dec 7?
